The days when I wanted to be a human being

Crocodile originally thought that the environment of this country was extremely beneficial to his abilities.

But before he could carry out his plan for long, a rainstorm began to fall, which was rare in many years. It was simply targeting him!

And it’s not just ordinary rain, it’s sea water!

But...it won't keep raining down, right?

He had looked up the information long before.

It’s not that it doesn’t rain in Alabasta, it’s just that it has never rained to this extent.

Crocodile felt that he could wait a little longer.

...

"Your Majesty, this... seems to be sea water. It's a bit salty."

Ikalem, who was standing by the window, collected some rain water through the window. After tasting it, he found that it tasted like sea water.

"Well... in this case, the crop yield this year might not be good." Cobra looked at the heavy rain outside worriedly.

"But if we import, funding is a big problem."

"Ah... I wish the rain could fall normally."

Cobra thought a lot. Although such heavy rain increased the water content of the soil, it would also make the soil unsuitable for growing crops.

If this continues, the livelihood of the entire nation will be an unavoidable problem.

"So that's how it is. I took it for granted. If I'm going to do it, I'll do it better."

At this time, a third person's voice was heard from the study.

"who is it!"

Cobra was startled by the sudden voice.

He turned his head to look in the direction of the sound.

A girl in black clothes is floating in the air.

She had her long messy hair behind her head, her arms folded across her chest, and her feet were bare.

What is most memorable is her eyes.

One was filled with aqua blue, while the other was flaming red.

"Ma'am, you came here uninvited. What's the matter?"

Ikalem stood between Zhou Ling and Cobra, looking at Zhou Ling cautiously.

Cobra looked at Zhou Ling's face in confusion. He always felt that this face was a little familiar.

He looked down at the newspaper on the table, and then his eyes widened suddenly.

And Ikalem is still confronting Zhou Ling.

“…Don’t be so vigilant. I’m here to help you.”

"Help us? You should go through a formal..."

"Okay, Ikalem, you can step down." Cobra interrupted Ikalem with a newspaper in his hand, and looked at Zhou Ling cautiously.

"You must be the swordsman Myo, one of the new Seven Warlords of the Sea."

"It seems that His Majesty the King has recognized me. This makes things much easier." Seeing that Cobra recognized her, Zhou Ling stopped talking nonsense and began to talk to him about her plan.

...

Soon, the two reached an unspeakable agreement.

Zhou Ling came to the sea in the sky again.

Before, she only made a rough plan, which was to send seawater to Alabasta Island to improve soil conditions.

But after communicating with Cobra and the professional agricultural officer he called, she realized that her previous ideas were a bit too idealistic.

problem.

Too many questions.

She went directly into the sea water at the beginning instead of stripping water from the sea water and then making it rain, just to save some mental energy.

But now, in order to save mental energy, it has caused huge problems.

Directly sending seawater into the desert will only cause countless secondary disasters and it will not be possible to turn it into a dense forest or something.

Not to mention, improving the soil for growing crops.

To improve the land of Alabasta, the first thing to do is to remove the salt from the sea water.

Zhou Ling sat in the sea above the sky, looking at Alabasta below with a sad face.

She has stopped the 'rain'.

In just half a day, soil erosion has occurred.

Some houses have collapsed, and the already scarce crops have been submerged by quicksand composed of water and sand.

"Ugh…"

She really didn't expect that her sudden idea would actually backfire.

After a long sigh, Zhou Ling began to stop the waterspout that was transporting seawater.

She was really bored and had to cause herself trouble.

It is impossible to improve the environment of Alabasta overnight.

It takes a lot of time.

Fortunately, she does not lack time.

I've been idle for long enough, it would be nice to do something.

She summarized it roughly.

To improve the desert environment, the first step is to add water to the sand, and she already has an idea for this step.

The second step is to retain the water. It is neither simple nor easy. Just plant trees.

It's not easy because planting trees is not something Zhou Ling can do alone.

This requires the king to call on the entire people of Alabasta to participate.

Moreover, the results cannot be seen in a short period of time. It requires the efforts of many generations.

So all Zhou Ling can do is to make it rain, and the rest depends on the people of Alabasta.

The water in the sea water is stripped away and guided to the sky to form rain clouds which then cause rain.

This is exactly what she is going to do.

But after trying it, Zhou Ling gave up this method.

If it's just for a short time then that's fine.

But as we analyzed above, this is simply impossible. The time is too long and she cannot stay here forever.

The mental energy consumed was not something she could bear.

She decided to try another approach.

"Armor↗Fusion↘"

"Zheng!"

"Open the Flame Domain!"

"boom!"

Zhou Ling came under the sea, summoned the Fire Dragon Armor, and ignited a large area of ​​sea below the sea.

She decided to boil the sea water, evaporate the water into the sky to form rain clouds, and then use a clone to control the rain.

As for the Flame Domain of the Flame Dragon Armor, it also requires energy, and there are two types of it. Isn’t this more troublesome?

She considered it too.

Maintaining the Flame Realm requires life energy and spiritual strength.

As for life energy, she can leave another clone here in the Flame Dragon Armor and convert the water in the sea water into life energy to replenish the energy of the Flame Dragon Armor.

However, this part of the converted life energy is only a small part. She plans to use the life energy stored in the armor space for the vast majority of the life energy.

Anyway, she has saved a lot over the years, and it will just be there if she doesn't use it.

And her leaving doesn't mean she won't come back forever. She also needs to come back often to replenish the spiritual power of her clone.

It is possible to do it over long distances, but the loss will be too great.

...

Zhou Ling stood in front of the new rain clouds that had formed in the sky, looking at the vast sea area in the distance of Alabasta that was all red.

Countless sea fish and sea beasts floated with their bellies turned upside down on the boiling sea water.

The sudden opening of the Flame Domain caused some fish and sea beasts that did not have time to leave to die suddenly due to the sudden increase in water temperature.

"Ugh…"

Zhou Ling felt that she sighed the most today than in all these years.

She could only hope that in the future, sea beasts and fish would avoid this sea area out of their survival instinct.

After seeing everything getting back on track, Zhou Ling, who originally wanted to return to the East China Sea, suddenly discovered that there were still some unstable factors.

She looked at the huge sandstorm that suddenly rose up in the desert.

Suddenly remembered a guy.

She had to think about how to prevent Crocodile from causing trouble.
